Mitchell Johnson was nicknamed Tyrannosaurus Rex in Australia’s dressing-room

Australia's lethal pacer Mitchell Johson, who was the master of the art of fast bowling, produced some heart-stopping spells in his eight-year-long Test career.Moustachioed, athletic, tattooed, and left-handed, Johnson was famous for launching rockets into the ribs of right-handers.Between 2008 and 2014, Johnson played 12 five-day games against South Africa and claimed 64 wickets at 25.64 and an economy of 3.10.

Nicknamed Tyrannosaurus Rex in Australia’s dressing-room, Johnson recorded three five-fors and a couple of 10-wicket hauls against the Proteas.In a 2014 Test match at Centurion, Johnson claimed 12/127 to record his third 10-wicket haul and his best bowling figures in the longest format of the game.In the first innings, he ran through the hosts' batting order claiming 7 for 68 and followed it by 5/59 in the second outing as Australia won the match by 281 runs, the second highest victory margin for the Baggy Greens in Tests against South Africa.
